Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in Occupational Therapy: Expanding the focus to national, state, and university levels

My capstone project was threefold and centered around JEDI initiatives in occupational therapy. I worked with a national diversity organization, COTAD, to create a diverse case study library, submitted a JEDI in OT literature review for publication, and increased my own knowledge of JEDI topics by attending educational events. I collaborated with the Arizona OT association to create diversity-focused marketing materials, a community outreach presentation, and mentorship resources. Lastly, I worked with the NAU OTD program to conduct a department-wide JEDI needs assessment and provide recommendations and multiple resources to strengthen their JEDI initiatives.
